Latest Update!

As I published the previous post, the ABC6 Weather Center received word from the National Weather Service in Taunton that a strong thunderstorm cell is in the process of entering the Northern RI area. Parts of Smithfield, Burriville, Pascoag; mainly those areas are on the lookout for some severe and extremely gusty thunderstorms the warning is also extending more towards Providence as well (as we speak). Max gusts of about 60mph have been reported as the storm moved over Connecticut. Some trees were reported to be knocked down into roads, and there has also been some quarter sized hail recorded.

Northern RI will be in this warning until about 6pm. A severe Thunderstorm Watch is still in effect for most of RI until 8pm this evening. Be sure to take precautions and stay inside! This is the latest from the ABC6 Weather Center!
